Human colony on Mars in 2023?

[Cainkane1]

I wouldn't go to Mars unless it was a two say trip.

..unless it was a two say trip.

Say there and back again?

I heard it was to be a 3 hour tour...

Mars One appears to be kaput. (For practical purposes.)

To almost no one’s surprise, Mars One is done [Updated]

To the surprise of almost no one, Mars One appears to be dead. This project, founded in 2013, said it would raise funds from fees and marketing rights in order to send humans on a one-way mission to settle the Red Planet.

Now, thanks to a user on Reddit, we know that the effort has come to an apparent end. Mars One consists of two entities: the Dutch not-for-profit Mars One Foundation and the publicly traded, Swiss-based Mars One Ventures. A civil court based in Basel, Switzerland, opened bankruptcy proceedings on the latter company in mid-January. Efforts on Monday to contact officials with Mars One were not successful. (See update below).

I guess the non-profit foundation still exists as a legal entity, and so does the for-profit corporation, but it is bankrupt.

Turns out, the Inverted Musk isn't a viable business maneuver.

Perhaps not.

But it'd be a great name for a new cologne for shy men...

Colonization has always been driven by greed. European nations colonized anywhere that they could find resources to steal and people to enslave. Mars has neither. But if Musk wants to bankrupt himself trying, he's certainly welcome to, the faster the better.

Bloody hell, I didn't realise the thread started nearly 10 years ago.
